Sarkodie will not perform at Olympics opening – DJ Mensah provides clarity on Paris event

The official DJ for Africa’s most decorated rapper, Sarkodie, is DJ Mensah, a Ghanaian disc jockey and event promoter who has recently made headlines with announcements about their upcoming performances.

Mensah revealed they had multiple upcoming shows planned in a recent interview on Asaase radio. They include a performance at the “opening” ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris and a subsequent event in the US. He also talked about his involvement in Ghanafest, a forthcoming Canadian event that is comparable to the UK’s “Ghana Party in the Park.”

However, after the reports went viral, DJ Mensah took to Twitter to clarify his statements: “Let me clarify this before I’m misinterpreted: There ‘MIGHT’ be an event in Paris around the same time the Olympics is happening, but it’s *NOT* during the opening ceremony. This is to provide more clarification on what is circulating.”
